Scotland, Paris, Montpellier, Perpignan, Nimes, Paris!

Well, after a fantastic 10 days in scotland I really wasnt ready to get on a plane back to france. since ive got no camera there are no pictures at the moment so ill just catch up with writing! first off - im on a french laptop and their keyboards are different so this is slow-going. second - WHERE DID THE TIME GO?!? I am in Paris, have two days left in this fantastic country and on this inspiring continent. seriously, has it already been a year since college graduation? a full 8 months of european glory? 


this is going to be a bit random of a post because i am far behind in updates, mostly due to the fact that i left my computer with my luggage in paris over two weeks ago. bit harder to work on blog posts. 


anyhow lets try to catch up:
april 27th sarah and i left nimes to take the TGV up to paris, dropped off my luggage at carlys, hung out in the jardin des tulieries, and then hiked it over to beauvais airport. fun fact: we took every form of transportation that day except a boat.
arrived in edinburgh and did all sorts of fab things in scotland for 10 days. i dont have pictures, so ill just do a quick blurb. scotland is FANTASTIC. edinburgh museums, bus tour, park, sun. glasgow night out. whiskey tour. philliben family bonding. walking their adorable dog buddy in the park. stirling castle. runs around the university campus lake. fish n chips. lots and lots of love for that country and family for hosting me twice!


(beginning of photoshoot...)
